Hi,

I have often replaced backlights in LCD's. Occasionally, like just now, I
get one which no matter what I try, I can't get all the pixels to reconnect.
It's the business of that squidgy rubber contact strip that connects between
the PCB and the LCD glass and is held in place by the metal cover of the
LCD, where you twist the lugs that protude through the PCB to secure it. I
always try and leave the LCD intact, but occasionally, as in this case, the
backlight will not come out without dismantling it.

I don't think I have damaged anything, and I have cleaned all the relevant
contacts and the strip with alcohol and switch cleaner but there are still 2
vertical bars unconnecting. Pressing really hard on the LCD housing will
not light them. Does anyone have any general hints and tips for these?

Cheers,

Gareth.
